5 things RAW got right on its Christmas episode (December 23, 2019)

#4 A victory for The O.C.

Last week, Randy Orton scored the first victory in his current rivalry with AJ Styles. Both men gave a good performance and set the crowd up for the things to come from these two men going ahead.

This week, the two faced off against each other again, this time in tag team action. Orton joined the RAW Tag Team Champions The Viking Raiders to take on AJ Styles and his faction, The O.C.

The action was as good as you’d expect from all six Superstars involved, and the momentum flowed back and forth.

At the end of the match, Styles went for the Phenomenal Forearm once again just like he did last week. However, this time The Viper was unable to counter the move with an RKO, leading to a pinfall victory for the heels.

This was a great battle in the rivalry between Styles and Orton, and The Viking Raiders and Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson. It was fast-paced, unlike the usual action between the two teams, and worked to put their rivalry forward.

Since Orton pinned Styles last week, the company did the right thing by allowing The Viper to take the pin this week and further continue the rivalry.
